I learned a new verb today: to "rilk" is to respond to something in an exaggeratedly sensitive way (Koch, Hotel Lambosa). It works in Spanish too: ¡Déjate ya de rilkear! Stop rilking around already. What would other poets names mean, as verbs? "That poet from the 1950s is certainly worth sillimanning" (rescuing from literary oblivion in great, painstaking detail?). "He schuylered my house." What would that mean? I'm not sure. It's worth thinking about.
